      Those devs have a boner for huge corporations for some reason. They hate anything that is “community driven”. Fuck’em, we will manage without them like we always have.

      People who buy Macs probably have money and are willing to spend it.

      We don’t bother with Linux ports anymore, instead they just added directX and win32 application support to Linux so it can just run the native Windows application.
